Hi, wdaver wrote on Sun, Jun 19, 2022 at 02:09:06PM -0700: > Ah - mangl returns Whoa, i wasn't even aware that "mangl" exists, but it appears it does exist and we even have a port for it: sysutils/mangl. It isn't very happy on my machine, though: schwarze@isnote $ mangl mangl Segmentation fault (core dumped) schwarze@isnote $ mangl man Segmentation fault (core dumped) schwarze@isnote $ mangl apm Segmentation fault (core dumped) schwarze@isnote $ mangl 4 apm Segmentation fault (core dumped) schwarze@isnote $ mangl schwarze@isnote $ It appears mangl is using an embedded copy of mandoc code that is between two and three years old. Consequently, using it is probably a bad idea. That said, adding to what Theo explained, man 4 apm and man -s 4 apm also return the "Alliance ProMotion video driver" manual on all architectures except amd64, arm64, i386, loongson, and macppc, which you can verify with these commands even on amd64: schwarze@isnote $ man -k ^apm\$ apm(4/amd64) - power management interface apm(4/arm64) - power management interface apm(4/i386) - advanced power management device interface apm(4/loongson) - advanced power management device interface apm(4/macppc) - advanced power management device interface apm(4) - Alliance ProMotion video driver apm, zzz, ZZZ(8) - Advanced Power Management control program schwarze@isnote $ man -S foo -s 4 apm | head -n 4 APM(4) Device Drivers ManualAPM(4) NAME apm - Alliance ProMotion video driver Admittedly, it is unfortunate that the Xenocara apm(4) page clashes with the base system apm(4) pages. But i don't think we can do anything about it. The system works as designed: the man(1) command prefers base system pages over Xenocara pages by default, so on the platforms having "advanced power management", you get that, and on the others, you get "Alliance ProMotion". It's not a bug, it's a feature; even if an unfortunate feature in this particular case. > Should I send this as a bug to ports or bugs mailing list? No, i think this thread can be closed as "invalid report". By the way, next time you report a bug, please state, up front, 1. the architecture you are running on 2. the version of OpenBSD you are using 3. and the exact, complete command you are typing. Yours, Ingo

3rd time trying to send - this time trying the phone… Ah - mangl returns the "Alliance ProMotion video driver" page for apm(4) when searching and when clicking links. Maybe I need to use another tool... Should I send this as a bug to ports or bugs mailing list? — David Rinehart > On Jun 18, 2022, at 11:56 PM, David Rinehart wrote: > > Ahhh - mangl returns the "Alliance ProMotion video driver" page for > apm(4) when searching and when clicking links.
